Quick Work.

YES" said the proprietor of one Of our
largest shoe manufactures in this city to the
writer, sit doesn't take long to make pair
of ladies' shoes. Some time ago a gentle
man and his wife walked into our factory
and in just one hour and thirty-three minutes
the lady left the house wearing a pair of
fine shoes which were made for her, from
the stock, while she was in the factory.
This was simply an experiment. These
shoes were made on a single set of ma
chinery and passed through the hands of
the different operatives at their machines.
By running double set of machinery and
crowding the machines, our crew of 100 men
make 600 pairs of shoes in day, or one pair
Of shoes per minute. That is six pairs of
shoes to man."
The reporter then stepped into the Da-
mond Wrench Companys factory and
learned from a gentleman there that 800
wrenches were being made, from the raw
material, each day by 20 men. That is Is
wrenches to one man. EYES," said the
gentleman, we can make wrench for you,
of fine finish, in less than one hour. Of
course it will be little warm when you
take it from the factory. One man alone,
understanding the use of the different ma
chimes could make wrench in a little over
one hour. part of this time, of course,
would be spent in passing from machine to
machine

Sunk off the Cane.

Monday afternoon, two brothers named
Trott, belonging on Peaks Island, saw a
small schooner sink off Cape Elizabeth, be-
tween the Head and the Two Lights. 1t was
vessel OF about 20 tons, evidently an old
craft used for carrying paving stones, and
she must have sprung aleak and sunk so
quickly that the crew had but lust time TO
escape in their boat, as they were seen max
ing Tor the shore. The Trotts picked nm
some potatoes, clothing and other articles
which floated. The name of the schooner
or her sailing port, were not ascertained.
Yesterday it was learned that the schooner
was the Earl, Capt. Closson, from Belfast
She left Belfast few days ago, and began
TO leak almost as soon as she left port. Her
cargo of paving stones was consigned to Con-
tractor Mitchell. The vessel leaked SO badly
that the captain attempted to make Portland
harbor without success. The captain and
two men, named Billings aud Dix, took to
the boat, and started for the city, and yester-
day morning the steamer Magnet, Capt.
Ceale landed them at Widgery's wharf. The
Earl was 70 tons, and owned in Searsport
and Belfast. The agent. A. b. Ferguson of
oearsport owned the cargo.

As man driving a furniture team was
passing down Gray street, yesterday, his
horse kicked, striking him in the ankle and
cutting 1t to the bone. The man fell from
the seat and tainted away. His wound was
dressed and bandaged and he recovered suf-
ficiently to drive on.
Last night at o'clock as an intoxicated
man, giving the name of Rueben Robinson
OF Cumberland Mills was driving out of
town his horse became frightened and ran
away. He was thrown from his carriage on
behring's bridge, striking his head on the
horse car track, cutting deep cash about
two inches long just back of his forehead.
Fortunately DIR. Way happened along in
time to attend to the man. 1t was thought
at first that he had broken his leg but an
examination proved that it was only slightly
injured. When the reporter arrived on the
spot the unfortunate man was unconscious
and the doctor did not then know whether
his brain was effected or not Mr.. Robinson
was taken to the police station and locked
up, and later it was found that his brain was
not iniurad

He couldn't stop his horses in that place,
and, half turned towards the rear of the

out after the first one. Away they went, all
except the one nearest to him, and that one
